Former members of Save Ferrisare suing singer Monique Powell over allegations that she falsely promoted an upcoming show as a "Save Ferris Reunion" ... without the rest of the band's permission.

Former SF members Brian Mashburn, Eric Zamora, Bill Uechi, Brian Williams, and Evan Kilbourne have now filed a lawsuit against Powell -- insisting she has no right to perform under the Save Ferris name. The band wants her to pay unspecified damages for falsely promoting a reunion show. They also want a judge to block her from using the Save Ferris name ever again.

Today we're bringing you a full EP stream from Austin, TX's Brothers Or Not. Citing influences from Recover to Foo Fighters, the southern alt rock act is definitely one to keep an eye on. It won't be long until they're mentioned in the same breath as many of the site favorites like Say Anything, Anberlin, and more. Listen to the band's EP in the replies and you can pre-order it here.

Love em' or hate em', our interview with Never Shout Never can be found here. The band is currently on the Kia Soul Main Stage on this summer's Vans Warped Tour. The band's new album, Sunflower, is out July 2nd on Loveway Records.

From The Interview

Yeah, my biggest thing is telling these kids to follow their dreams, because anything is possible, and the first thing is believing and loving yourself. That's our biggest message - whatever you want to do, you can do it, you just have to believe in yourself and you have to have patience and persistence

GT NVLVD! (Glassjaw, Thursday, From Autumn To Ashes, Judge) are heading out on a small east coast run. They will be playing songs from their recently recorded, Ross Robinson produced EP, which is slated to be released by the end of the year. Hit the replies for tour dates.

You can check out our interview with Sleeping With Sirenshere. The band is currently on the Kia Forte Main Stage on this summer's Vans Warped Tour. The band's brand new album, Feel, is available in stores and online.

In the replies you can find the lyrics to a new Jay-Z song titled "Holy Grail." The song will feature Justin Timberlake and it also contains the Nirvana lyrics Courtney Love gave him permission to use.

PropertyOfZack has the first interview with Tides Of Man since the band's re-entry into music. In the interview, they discussed being independent, wanting to be a band that has music in TV/movie soundtracks, its plan to have a new album out by the end of the year, and more. Check it out here.

We’re off the label. We’re doing this all ourselves. We’re going to do everything ourselves. At this point, we’re not being looked at and have no offers. I don’t know if we would take an offer at this point. We’re in a cool position because we got a lot out of being on the label like good tours and a fan base. Now we have that to work with.

It's hard to believe that we are half way through 2013. Six months in the books and yet there is still no instance of this year slowly down with quality releases week after week. I'm unveiling my five most anticipated July releases a week early since next Monday we'll be highlighting the staff's mid-year Top 10 lists. This month's list was a little easier to put together than last months insane smorgasbord of amazing LPs, but that doesn't mean there's a shortage of great stuff releasing in July. Check out my list in the replies and feel free to discuss the albums you're anticipating next month.

According to a recent tweet from Bring Me The Horizon front man Oli Sykes, bands are no longer allowed to ask concert-goers to perform the wall of death or mosh anymore. An update provided to PropertyOfZack states that "according to insurance policies, bands must refrain from using the terms mentioned above" and that it "makes it easier for insurance companies to cover injured attendees of Warped Tour." So just don't move at these things anymore, okay?

This week on the Self Promotion Forum, I found the excellent Home Of The Useless. Home Of The Useless play alternative rock which has more than slight leanings towards post-hardcore and would be perfect for fans of Thrice. Download their EP, Happy, for free from their Bandcamp.

Now, the Cali ska-punks have revealed the fourth cut off the EP: Fugazi’s “Cashout”. Speaking about the song choice and the faithful cover, Bandits guitarist Steve Choi said, “Fugazi is one of our biggest influences musically and ethically. We could easily do a whole album of Fugazi covers, but after going back and forth we settled on a later tune, this one being from the band’s last full length album The Argument.”

Night Dive (featuring members of Portugal. The Man, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, Wild Orchid Children, Alligators, Time To Fly, Arper, The Divorce, Dawn Solaris, Map Of June, and Ships) have launched a Kickstarter to help fund their new multi-media project.

Night Dive is a collection of friends and musicians that grew up playing music with one another – sometimes in the same band, sometimes as members in the same thriving music scene. The connection shared by this group was unique, but it wasn't until this connection was removed several years back that it was fully realized just how unique it was. After playing music with other people, and replacing the time spent together...
